• Pituitary-adrenal function was assessed by a combined dexamethasone suppression-ACTH stimulation test in 15 diabetic and 9 healthy dogs. In both groups, plasma cortisol concentrations decreased (P less than 0.001) after dexamethasone administration and increased (P less than 0.001) after ACTH administration. Differences between groups (P greater than 0.05) and group-by-time interactions were not significant (P greater than 0.05). Seemingly, adrenal function was not altered in well-regulated diabetic dogs.
